Eid’s neighbor Mary Williams organized the celebration with the kids and says it was eye opening for them. “The knowledge he shared with those kids they won’t find in a book,” she explains. And Eid says he had a truly great time celebrating with his young neighbors. “I’ve never had such a wonderful birthday before,” he told the Port Huron Times Herald . “I’ll never forget it.”
